What || can you vouch | against | him Sign|ior

Is this | the man | that you | did tell | us of?

LUCIO
'Tis he, my lord: come hither goodman baldpate, do you know me?

DUKE VINCENTIO
I remember you sir, by the sound of your voice, I met you at the prison, in
the absence of the duke.

LUCIO
Oh, did you so? And do you remember what you said of the duke?

DUKE VINCENTIO
Most notedly sir.

LUCIO
Do you so sir: And was the duke a fleshmonger, a fool, and a coward, as you
then reported him to be?

DUKE VINCENTIO
You must (sir) change persons with me, ere you make that my report: you
indeed spoke so of him, and much more, much worse.

LUCIO
Oh thou damnable fellow: Did not I pluck thee by the nose, for thy speeches?

DUKE VINCENTIO
I protest, I love the duke, as I love myself.

ANGELO
Hark how the villain would close now, after his treasonable abuses!

ESCALUS
Such a fellow is not to be talked withal: Away with him to prison: Where is
the provost? Away with him to prison: lay bolts enough upon him: let him
speak no more: away with those giglots too, and with the other confederate
companion.

DUKE VINCENTIO
Stay sir, stay awhile.

ANGELO
What, resists he? Help him Lucio.

LUCIO
Come sir, come sir, come sir: foh sir, why you bald-pated lying rascal: you
must be hooded must you? Show your knave's visage with a pox to you: show
your sheep-biting face, and be hanged an hour: will it not off?
